Micron M510DC (480GB) Enterprise SATA SSD Review
by Kristian Vättö on July 21, 2015 8:00 AM EST4KB Random Read
With 4KB random writes and mixed workloads out of the way, that leaves us with only pure random reads remaining. The test is a two-hour span and the results correspond to an average of the last 500 seconds of the run.
In random read performance, the difference between SATA drives is negligible. At best the difference is 10%, but between most drives we are looking at less than 5%.
At QD8 and QD16 the difference is a bit larger and not in favor of the M510DC. The EVO does deliver better performance in this case, but not substantially.
There aren't major differences in consistency either and only the S3700 has a notable lead in this area.
The M510DC isn't as power efficient as I would like it to be because it's outperformed by the EVOs again. It's not a significant margin, but with better performance and efficiency the EVO is turning out to be a better drive for read workloads.

Bring on the 10TB SSDs. The 512GB-2TB models have lost all interest for me.thulasiram.valleru - Monday, August 10, 2015 - link
In 4KB IOPS category, Samsung beats against most of its competitors and I am surprised no SSD delivers the speed in category 4KB read and writes as this company with this price range. Any body has a reasonable answer. I am not sure whether in house design and manufacturing of components made it possible for Samsung to achieve the difference.
